Day 1 Completed

Steven "FadeOrHoldz" Madara Bags Day 1 Lead With Late Surge

Day 1 of 51-M: NLHE [8-Max, Main Event], $100K Gtd saw rapid fire action all day long, as a field of 391 players was narrowed down to just a dozen players returning tomorrow. Leading the way is Steven "FadeOrHoldz" Madara, with 6,690,399. "TrashNinja00 is in second with 5,179,795, and is the only other player over the five million marker. Sridhar "sri100k" Sangannagari is also in the mix, with an above average stack.

Madara was already one of the biggest stacks when play got down to just two tables. He was then dealt a monster hand with pocket kings, and was able to secure a big knockout to vault to the top of the leaderboard.

Some of the biggest notables in the New Jersey Pokerstars market came out to play today, but many of them were gone before the money bubble burst. Included in that list were Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez, Ryan "hagz2richez" Hagerty, and Daniel "loxonbagel" Buzgon.

Action will resume tomorrow night at 6 PM ET, when the 12 remaining players will play down to a winner. Check below for a full list of the remaining chip counts, and be sure to come back tomorrow to see who takes the first place prize of nearly $20,000!

End of Day 1 Chip Counts

"GivnUstrokes" Doubles on Final Hand of the Night

Level 28 (40,000/80,000/12,500)

"GivnUstrokes" was down to just eight big blinds when the final hand was dealt, and those chips went in the middle from late position. "BrigBeast06" put them at risk in the big blind holding {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}, and they were slightly behind the {a-Spades}{2-Hearts} of "GivnUstrokes." The flop of {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} missed both players, and the {2-Diamonds} turn gave "GivnUstrokes" a small two pair. No paint came on the river, giving "GivnUstrokes" a nice double before play wrapped.

Steven "FadeOrHoldz" Madara Takes the Chip Lead Late

Level 27 (30,000/60,000/8,750)

"moosedeer17" bumped up the action to 126,000, and the action folded to big stack Steven "FadeOrHoldz" Madara in the big blind. He moved all in, easily having "moosedeer17" covered. They called off their final 1.2 million with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}, but unfortunately for them, they were dominated by the kings held my Madara.

The board came down {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, giving Madara a full house, and shooting him to the top of the counts.

Aces Work For "Zlajamiest"

Level 25 (20,000/40,000/6,000)

"Zlajamiest" min raised to 80,000 from middle position, and after the small blind called, "tharris1021" moved all in from the big blind for 892,000. "Zlajamiest" was quick to call with {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, and "tharris1021" was in a world of hurt with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

The flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades} all but sealed the hand, and the {j-Hearts} turn did just that.
